IPL 2022 began in a disastrous fashion for defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they lost the wicket of opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad in the first over of the campaign opener against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Gaikwad, the Orange Cap winner from last season, chased a widish delivery outside the off stump and ended up edging it to Nitish Rana in the slips.
CSK vs KKR, IPL 2022, Live Updates: Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the season opener of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Last season, CSK defeated KKR in the final in the UAE, and lifted their fourth IPL title. Both teams will be under leadership this season. MS Dhoni stepped down as captain of CSK on Thursday, and Ravindra Jadeja will fill in for him this season. Meanhile, KKR did not retain their skipper Eoin Morgan, and signed Shreyas Iyer at the mega auction last month. Both teams will miss several players initially due to international commitments. It will be interesting to see which team will take the bragging rights ahead of a long and tiring season. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) each other in the season opener of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on Saturday. The match will kick-start a two-month cricket carnival which fans have been eagerly waiting for. It will also be a rematch of last year's final where CSK defeated KKR in the final.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was on Thursday named the new Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, as the franchise announced that MS Dhoni is stepping down from the role. He will now have to carry forward the rich legacy of long time leader MS Dhoni. The wicketkeeper-batter has captained CSK ever since the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008, leading them to four titles as well as two Champions League T20 trophies.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has handed over the captaincy reins at Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to Ravindra Jadeja, ahead of the start of the 15th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The development comes just two days before CSK open their campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai in the season opener at Wankhede Stadium. Dhoni, who was bought as the icon player by CSK in the inaugural season in 2008, has led CSK to 4 titles in the 12 seasons that he has led the team. Under Dhoni, CSK established themselves as the most consistent franchise in the league, qualifying for the play-offs every season barring one.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 will begin on March 26 with defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) squaring off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Ahead of the high-voltage clash, CSK have received a body blow as England all-rounder Moeen Ali will be missing the game as he has not yet got his visa. The franchise will now hope for Moeen Ali to be available from the second game onwards.
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings may miss the services of Moeen Ali for the IPL 2022 opener as the star England all-rounder is yet to receive his India visa for the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament beginning in Mumbai on Saturday. CSK, four-time IPL champions, will take on last edition's runner-up side Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of the this year's IPL at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
Moeen Ali is likely to miss the opening match for Chennai Super Kings, who will play the IPL 2022 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday. The 34-year old Ali, who was retained by CSK for Rs 8 crore, hasn't joined the four-time champions for the upcoming IPL season. The all-rounder is stranded in the UK after failing to secure the visa necessary to travel to India for the IPL. It has been learned that Moeen would need to arrive in Mumbai by Wednesday to stand a chance of playing his team's first match against 2021 runners-up Knight Riders, an ESPNcricinfo report said.
